When carrying the power tool with hooked to your
waist belt, do not fit any bit to the tip of power tool. If
the sharp bit such as drill is fitted to the power tool
when carrying it with hooked to your waist belt, you
will be injured.
Install securely the hook. Unless the hook is securely
installed, it may cause an injury while using.
(1) Removing the hook.
Remove the screws fixing the hook with Philips screw
driver. (Fig. 9)
(2) Replacing the hook and tightening the screws.
Install securely the hook in the groove of power tool
and tighten the screws to fix the hook firmly.
(Fig. 10)
7. About Remaining Battery Indicator
When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch,
the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the
battery remaining power can be checked. (Fig.11)
When releasing your finger from the remaining
battery indicator switch, the remaining battery
indicator lamp goes off. The table 6 shows the state
of remaining battery indicator lamp and the battery
remaining power.
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
differently depending on ambient temperature and
battery characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE
Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or
break it.It may lead to a trouble.
To save the battery power consumption, the
remaining battery indicator lamp lights while pressing
the remaining battery indicator switch.
8. How to use the LED light
Every time you press the light switch on the switch
panel, the LED light lights or goes off. (Fig. 12)
To prevent the battery power consumption, turn off
the LED light frequently.
CAUTION
Do not expose directly your eye to the light by looking
into the light.
If your eye is continuously exposed to the light, your
eye will be hurt.
NOTE
To prevent the battery power consumption caused
by forgetting to turn off the LED light, the light goes
off automatically in about 15 minutes.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
1. Resting the unit after continuous work
After use for continuous bolt-tightening work, rest
the unit for 15 minutes or so when replacing the
battery. The temperature of the motor, switch, etc.,
will rise if the work is started again immediately after
battery replacement, eventually resulting in burnout.
NOTE
Do not touch the protector, as it gets very hot during
continuous work.
2. Cautions on use of the speed control switch
This switch has a built-in, electronic circuit which
steplessly varies the rotation speed. Consequently, when
the switch trigger is pulled only slightly (low speed
rotation) and the motor is stopped while continuously
driving in screws, the components of the electronic
circuit parts may overheat and be damaged.
3. Use a tightening time suitable for the screw
The appropriate torque for a screw differs according to
the material and size of the screw, and the material
being screwed etc., so please use a tightening time
suitable for the screw. In particular, if a long tightening
time is used in the case of screws smaller than M8, there
is a danger of the screw breaking, so please confirm the
tightening time and the tightening torque beforehand.
4. Work at a tightening torque suitable for the bolt
under impact
The optimum tightening torque for nuts or bolts differs
with material and size of the nuts or bolts. An
excessively large tightening torque for a small bolt
may stretch or break the bolt. The tightening torque
increases in proportion to the operaton time. Use the
correct operating time for the bolt.
5. Holding the tool
Hold the impact wrench firmly with both hands. In
this case hold the wrench in line with the bolt.
It is not necessary to push the wrench very hard.
Hold the wrench with a force just sufficient to
counteract the impact force.
6. Confirm the tightening torque
The following factors contribute to a reduction of the
tightening torque. So confirm the actual tightening
torque needed by screwing up some bolts before the
job with a hand torque wrench. Factors affecting the
tightening torque are as follows.
(1) Voltage
When the discharge margin is reached, voltage
decreases and tightening torque is lowered.
(2) Operating time
The tightening torque increases when the operating
time increases. But the tightening torque does not
increase above a certain value even if the tool is
driven for a long time.
(3) Diameter of bolt
The tightening torque differs with the diameter of the
bolt. Generally a larger diameter bolt requires larger
tightening torque.
(4) Tightening conditions
The tightening torque differs according to the torque
ratio; class, and length of bolts even when bolts with
the same size threads are used. The tightening torque
also differs according to the condition of the surface
of workpiece through which the bolts are to be
tightened. When the bolt and nut turn together, torque
is greatly reduced.

State of lamp Battery Remaining Power
The battery remaining power
is enough.
The battery remaining power
is a half.
The battery remaining power
is nearly empty.
Re-charge the battery soonest possible.
